Radial Arm Saw by Eumenia

Does anybody out there have first hand experience with a european Radial Arm Saw by Eumenia? Once upon a time I believe it was distributed by Inca. I searched the forums (incl. Inca) and came up with some miscellaneous facts.

I may be able to pick one up and I was just curious to get some feedback.

Inca was bought by a French firm 9 or 10 years back, but has since ceased to be. Eumenia were Austrian and again they've gone the way of the world. They're a pretty lightweight saw, so I wouldn't expect to be able to cut trenches/dado on them. The machines are more common in Europe. Have you thought about asking anyone on a European formu such as UK Workshop?

I also purhcased one of the Inca Radial Arm Saws 20-or-so years ago. I have had several Inca tools and love them, but that saw was a POS. It was light weight and had a lot of flex. It required a lot of tinkering to keep square. It was a great idea, but a poor execution.
